Hey guys I am using the Ultra X4 750-Watt Modular Power Supply and the Thermaltake Chaser A31 Case. The power supply is on the bottom and I cannot tell if the fan should face up or down? The logo is upside, when pointing up, but there are other factors too that makes it so I cannot decide. Can someone look it up and help me out?? Thanks!
PSU Fan facing up or down??

The case has fan filters and ventilation at the bottom for the fan to be mounted down. This allows fresh air to cycle through the power supply.

Your power supply on the other hand is trash. Andyson is the OEM and I would get something of actual quality ASAP. Ultra is good at one thing......being marketed.
Here is a review of the 850 and 1050 X4s. Failing miserably I might add.

" The Ultra X4 line of power supplies represent something of a Phoenix rising from the ashes of the Ultra X2 750W Extreme Edition. Unfortunately, someone shot down that Phoenix before it could rise far enough from the X2's ashes to really signal a rebirth for Ultra. The X4 line today showed only acceptable voltage regulation, in specification transient response, barely in specification DC Output Quality, and good exterior build quality. Unfortunately, this gets worse as the interior build quality was not very good and efficiency results that are so far off of the 80 Plus Silver that these units are supposedly certified as to make us think this is some kind of joke."
Keep in mind these are the "better" than your X4 750 Bronze certified units.
